I tried to install it and got some c compile errors. Probably my nodejs version is too old, but you want to have the absolute minimum of friction for users to install it. Beaker comes as an appimage for linux, which worked flawlessly at the first try. Maybe do that for the hyperdrive daemon as well?

Yes, we'll definitely be doing this. Thanks for the feedback.

A Docker image would also allow for us Windows folks to use this, as Docker can map folders between Windows and Linux. Does one exist? If not, I could give it a go :)
